INDIAN BURIAL PIT, SALINA, KANSAS
Back:
16251
This prehistoric burial pit is definitely linked
with the Indians of Coronado's time. Skeleton
remains of 146 Indians are uncovered and left
exactly as they were placed there many cen-
turies ago, layer upon layer, in flexed positions
with knees drawn up and hands resting close to
their faces. Some of the skeletons measure well
over six feet in height, others are of small chil.
dren. The Pit is located just off Highway U.
S. 40, four miles east of Salina.
